reverts, shut the computer down or log out whatever you want to do, restart

pressed!

It doesn't work for me. That is, the keyboard shortcut works just fine
of course, but if I switch user,

I don't remember mentioning switching users!

My G4 is open slather for whoever need to use it!

And Steve did say...

"Well, it's not the exact same problem but it does contain the ability to
"screw with" a user even after logging out. A person logging back in to
that account couldn't really use an app like Photoshop or Painter with
the screen whacked out like this. I once did this to my wife and she
thought the video circuitry was crapping out;)"-Steve Carroll

..... A person logging back in to that account...."

Sorry for any confusion!

the setting does not follow. If I set
my admin, or non-admins screen to be zoomed in and reversed (call it
mode X), and switch to another account, the screen will revert back to
normal (mode A). If I change things in that account as well (mode Y),
the screen will switch to mode X when "fast user" swithing to the
first user and go to mode A when I go to the login screen.
